Me too. @Fat_Pirate Do you want me to start a rolling list of interested ASers?

[juular]

I'm interested in this as well.

I’m definitely up for this, haven’t been over the Tamar since 1988 I reckon, and might combine with a bit of a holiday. 

To be honest if you’re not still using Morris Itals and Cortina Mk5s for taxis I’m going to be a little disappointed 😀!

Also - the AS library will be overstocked as a) as usual I’ve bought way too many old magazines and random book lots  on EBay and b) I couldn’t get rid of anything last year due to not making it over to la belle France or Schaeftt’s thing in the NE. The most absolutely totally random printed material this year will be an ‘auto camping’ guide to Finland from 1961. Don’t ask me how I source this tat, TBH it just finds me 😄!

Yeah as far as I know Cornwall is cut off, a bit like Cuba but with Morrises and Hillmans instead of Dodges and Chevrolets.

[hairnet]

1-0 to cuba then

[Tubbo]

I might be able to attend 

[EightMegs]

I can probably make this assuming no disasters between now and August.

[MondeoBlues]

It's almost certainly a yes from me; I haven't been to Cornwall for a good 15 years or so. 

I may or may not set fire to myself this year, we'll see. 

[AnthonyG]

I still remember your drunken monologue about the joys* of living in/hailing from Rowley Regis from Shitefest 2024!!!

[MondeoBlues]

I've got plenty more drunken laments of being a Midlander to come this year I've no doubt. 

[Marm Toastsmith]

Gutted to report that I've just looked at the family calendar for August and it's chockablock.

I'd love to make it along if possible though. 

[davidfowler2000]

I've never been to Cornwall. Google maps says it's about 560 miles. Shitefest '19 it took myself and @cms206 12 hours to get there and that's still about 100 miles short of this year.

Fuck it. Why not.

[Eavb]

20 minute drive so I'm in 😊

Can also offer mechanic services and/or tools if anyone needs it here

 

 

[hairnet]

Beko and crackers on that list

2CV 24hour on the way home?

[RoverFolkUs]

I'm interested but wouldn't be able to confirm until much nearer the time if that's ok

I wouldn't pick anything else for a trip of that distance 😅

It is.  I'd forgotten your superhuman capacity for long-distance driving!

[busmansholiday]

The last time I took the motorhome (posh bastard I can hear you saying) for a weekend at a rugby club (Matlock), it pissed it down that much it had to be dragged out with a bfo 4x4 as it sank into the grass. I'll check the weather forecast nearer the date and ask Mrs BMH permission.

Just seen this and would have signed up but I already have tickets for a car get-together that weekend 

A shame as there a few folk on here that I know from other places and it would have been great to meet up again. Have fun 

[JakeT]

I could be deeply interested, and love Cornwall. I’ll keep all posted!

[fatharris]

Right, shall we get a names list up and running then?
